Opportunities/Advice for Junior Illustrators?
I'm really lost on how to get any opportunities as an illustrator with very little experience. It seems I can't find a place where they'd take a junior illustrator without job experience that's remote, cause in my country there are like no opportunities at all for illustrator. Before I got my degree my professor's would often say how it's a bit hard but there were jobs out there for us. These days I wonder why did I have to choose a career that has so little employability in my country. I seem to always be making poor choices for my professional future. Any advice would be appreciated or if you know a place that's hiring illustrators with no experience, please let me know. I'm also thinking about trying to apply for graphic design internships since it's kind of similar, but obviously not the same...

Life Guidance: What do I do Where do I go? (Sports/Creative/Business).?
I am a freshman in college going down the route of graduating with some sort of Business degree. I have found myself to be a creative person from a young age, which I’m not sure a business major fits. I loved drawing, designing, and coming up with ideas. I still do, it is just that TENNIS has become an addiction for the past few years. However, I no longer have a tennis team to participate in which drives me nuts. With this information, I know I would love to be a part of the sports industry. I find the roles of management, marketing, designing, fashion, and coaching to be interesting careers. I also wouldn’t mind being a part of entertainment (concerts, film sets, etc.). I'm just unsure of where to go after understanding these things about myself.
Where to start learning motion design?
I am in my first year of a school that focuses on design but until we start to learn actual designing is 3 years from now.

I really need to start learning now because i need a talent and perhaps a good future. Thanks to my school, i already own every Adobe programm out there so the platform will be no problem i suppose. Yet, I don't know where or how to start. Can someone experienced give me some advice? Every answer is appreciated, thank you.
